Many thanks to Simona for contributing scans from Ciak (Italy, June 1989), covering Meryl’s appearance at the Cannes Film Festival and the release of “A Cry in the Dark”, as well as two additional pictures of from festival earlier in 1989, where Meryl won Best Actress. Enjoy.

The public appearances have been sorted a bit and new pictures have been added, including television appearances that Meryl did in the late 1980s, including Entertainment Tonight and ABC’s The Home Show. Additionally, some already added pictures have been identified for the correct events, such as this one or this one. All last added pictures can be launched by clicking below. And while we’re at it, some additional early work pictures from The Deadliest Season, The Cherry Orchard and Taken in Marriage have been added as well. Enjoy.

Some wonderful pictures have been added to the image library. They all come from various public appearances in France, including the 1989 Cannes Film Festival, where “A Cry in the Dark” premiered and Meryl won Best Actress, a 1992 visit to promote “Death Becomes Her”, a photocall in 1999 to promote “One True Thing” as well as the 2003 Cesar Awards, where Meryl was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award.

Another batch of pictures have been added. Since there aren’t as many from the earlier years than from the more recent, three years have been combined – 2000 to 2002. Updates include Meryl’s appearances at the Golden Globes, SAG Awards and Academy Awards for “Music of the Heart”, screencaptures of her hosting job (alongside Liam Neeson) at the 2001 Nobel Peace Prize Concert and the 2002 promotion for “Adaptation” and “The Hours”. Two more updates, covering the 1990s and 1980s, will follow this week. To view all last added pictures, simply click one of the previews below.

And while we’re at it, here’s the pictures update for 2003. Although we’ve tracking the appearances back ten years, I vividly remember 2003 as one of the most exciting years in Meryl’s recent career. She won the Golden Globe for “Adaptation” (her first win in 20 years), was honored with the Cesar in France and received Oscar, BAFTA and Screen Actors Guild Awards nomination. With “The Hours” and “Adaptation” as well as the television landmark “Angels in America” (which premiered in late 2003), Meryl sort of made a comeback as an actor of relevance. That being said, it’s much easier to forget she also did “Stuck on You” in 2003 :-) To view all last added pictures, click any of the previews below.

The coverage continues with 2004. This has been one of the most extensive years for Meryl, winning both the Golden Globe and Emmy Award for “Angels in America”, receiving the American Film Institute Lifetime Achievement Award and promoting two films, “The Manchurian Candidate” and “Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events”. Over 1.000 additional pictures have been added to the image library. To launch all last added pictures, click any of the previews below.

Another batch of additional pictures, this time covering the year 2005, have been added to the image library. 2005 has been a rather quiet year, featuring the theatrical release of “Prime”, but not that much otherwise except some appearances – including the Golden Globe Awards as a nominee for “The Manchurian Candidate” and various benefit events. To launch all last added pictures, click one of the previews below.

And the public appearances updates continue with over 1.000 additional pictures from 2006 events. This has been another busy year for Meryl, promoting both “A Prairie Home Companion” and “The Devil Wears Prada” in the US and overseas, including the Venice, Deauville and Berlin Film Festival. She also returned to the stage with “Mother Courage” and presented the Lifetime Achievement Academy Award to Robert Altman. All last added pictures can be viewed by clicking one of the previews below. P.S. I’ve received lots of emails asking if Meryl attends the BAFTA Awards tonight. There have been news, but I don’t know how reliable they are. However, if Meryl will attend the ceremony tonight, be sure to find up-to-date coverage here at Simply Streep.

Another batch of public apperances pictures have been added, this time covering 2007. That year, Meryl won a Golden Globe for her performance in “The Devil Wears Prada” and released a total of four films – Dark Matter, Evening, Rendition and Lions for Lambs – the latter two promoted at various premieres. In 2007, Meryl also attended Belfast to promote their arts museum and presented Al Gore with the Global Environmental Citizen Award. To view all last added pictures, click one of the previews below.

Additional pictures from 2008 public appearances have been added to the image library. The year was dominated by the US releases of both “Mamma Mia” – which was also promoted in London, Germany, Italy, Stockholm, Sydney, Melbourne – and “Doubt”, which world-premiered at the 2008 AFI Fest. Further, Meryl was honored by the Lincoln Center, the British National Movie Awards and at the San Sebastian Film Festival.
